1. What's your favourite food? I love everything, but I could probably eat steak, potatoes, and salad every day!
2. Is there a book or movie that changed your life? The Perks of Being a Wallflower changed my life. I didn't read it until I was out of school, but I wish I had known about it before then. It made me realize other people felt the way I did/do, so much so that someone wrote a book with a protagonist with an inner monologue similar to mine!
3. If you had to pick a super power, what would you pick? I would probably pick the ability to fly or teleport. Getting places quickly would be awesome!
4. What is your go-to karaoke song? Torn by Natalie Imbruglia or You Were Meant For Me by Jewel.
5. What is your surefire hangover cure? Tylenol, carbs, and sleep!
6. What is your favourite family tradition? My mom always had "Santa" separate our gifts in to our own little pile, then our stocking would stand in the middle of it all. I know it's insignificant, but I always remember that, and now do the same for my family.
7. Do you have any collections? If so, what? I used to collect frog stuff (figurines, stuffed animals, etc.) I don't have a collection now, persey, but I am trying to amass all of Kurt Vonnegut's books. I have 13 so far.
8. If you ruled the world for one day, what's the first thing you would implement? That's such a tough question. There are so many things I would like to change, and for various reasons. I suppose the very first thing would be to provide more housing and access to necessary items to those below the poverty line.
9. Do you have a life mantra? Not really, though I'm sure it would be useful to adopt one!
10. Add your own fun fact! I, at 32 years old, have never been stung by a bee!
ooh tough to say! Pasta or salmon
2. Is there a book or movie that changed your life?
Hmmm ... I wouldn't say so but there are 2 books that would probably have the biggest impact.
"Summer Sisters" by Judy Blume and "Go Ask Alice" by Anonymous
3. If you had to pick a super power, what would you pick?
Toss between invisibility and mind reading
4. What is your go-to karaoke song?
"Heart of Glass" by Blondie and "Son of a Preacher Man" by Dusty Springfield
5. What is your surefire hangover cure?
Don't drink lmao I don't have one, I just avoid drinking mostly
6. What is your favourite family tradition?
I use to have a few but trying to make changes.
7. Do you have any collections? If so, what?
My H and I collect shot glasses when we go away. I also adore the Pop Vinyls, so that's kind of a collection.
8. If you ruled the world for one day, what's the first thing you would implement?
Oh very hard. I would love equality for all but I don't think people would go with it. Hmmm ....
9. Do you have a life mantra?
I don't. I should get one. I'll go with "Hakuna Matata" for now
10. Add your own fun fact!
83 days until we get possession of our first house!!
1. What's your favourite food? Macaroni & cheese

4. What is your go-to karaoke song? None! I'm way too chicken.
5. What is your surefire hangover cure? Water the night before. Nothing else works.
6. What is your favourite family tradition? We do Thanksgiving & Christmas altogether and my family is huge. It's loud, crazy and I love it.
7. Do you have any collections? If so, what? I am a makeup hoarder. I'm not sure if you would call it a collection but that's what I got.
8. If you ruled the world for one day, what's the first thing you would implement? I am a true realist so I'd like to say things like equality, etc. but that's not a rule/law I can implement (I think it comes more from someone's character etc). I would implement an overhaul of our education system.
9. Do you have a life mantra? Don't sweat the small stuff.
10. Add your own fun fact! My go-to answer for this question is that I have a metal rod and screws in my right calf. I had a bad break in college and this was the result!
Chicken drumsticks and mashed potatoes with white gravy.

Not to be cliche, but the Bible. My faith is incredibly important to me.

Honestly, I've never done karaoke, but I often sing Disney songs while I'm cleaning.
5. What is your surefire hangover cure?
I don't drink.
6. What is your favourite family tradition?
My family has a cheese feast every Christmas. We are a big family (I have 27 first cousins on this side) and everyone brings different types of cheese, crackers and charcuterie, plus we usually have soup. It's wonderful and I look forward to it every year. Last year I brought Coffee Cheese!

I collect vintage Pyrex pieces.

Every year at Christmas, after we would string all the lights on the tree and decorate it, my mom would turn off all the lights in the house and would leave just the tree lights on. She would then lay down with me and my sister and look up at the tree from underneath and see its beauty in a different way. And she would tell us how much she loved us and stories etc etc. This past Christmas my sister and I was at her house and we pulled her aside and initiated it. She cried. Other than that all of my family traditions have died. DH and I are trying to come up with new ones.
7. Do you have any collections? If so, what? I collect tumbler/sports bottles. It is more of a disease than a collection really... I also collect pins from Disney. I have pretty much every one of the Pirates of the Caribbean ever made.
8. If you ruled the world for one day, what's the first thing you would implement? Kindness
9. Do you have a life mantra? Treat those how you want to be treated (so original right?).
10. Add your own fun fact! I once got an award from NASA for all the hard work I put in dedicated to the Space Shuttle Program. My boss and I were the only 2 people that received this certificate that were not directly working with the Space Shuttle Program. It came complete with a gold medallion flown on one of the shuttle missions. And was presented to us at our place of business by 4 astronauts, and the Director of the Space Shuttle Program. It was awesome and I geeked out big time cause I am such a space nerd...

Italian! We have a restaurant in town called Ciao Mambo and they have amazing Italian food!
2. Is there a book or movie that changed your life?
Not that I can think of right now.
3. If you had to pick a super power, what would you pick?
Teleportation, I am chronically late to everything...
4. What is your go-to karaoke song?
Carrie Underwood- Before He Cheats
5. What is your surefire hangover cure?
All the grease!! Usually fast food and lots of water!
6. What is your favourite family tradition?
I don't know if it's a tradition since we only do it every few years but I love it when we can go to my Aunt & Uncle's house in Washington for Thanksgiving! I have an absolutely huge family but we are very spread out and many of them don't have very much disposable income, so we rarely ever get to see them. On the years that we are able to go to my Aunt & Uncle's house for Thanksgiving, that is when I get to see most of my family members all in one place! It is loud and crazy and cramped and chaotic and hands down, my favorite thing in the world!
7. Do you have any collections? If so, what?
I collect shot glasses from everywhere I visit!
8. If you ruled the world for one day, what's the first thing you would implement?
Yikes, I have zero desire for that level of responsibility.
9. Do you have a life mantra?
I've never thought too much about it but I guess it would be something like the song "Live Like You Were Dying" by Tim McGraw
10. Add your own fun fact!
I have a tattoo of a treble clef on my right foot that I got with my best friend in college. I love the tattoo and the memory but it is pretty faded and I refuse to get it touched up because it hurt so bad when I got it!!!

1. What's your favourite food? I could probably have tacos every day of my life and die a happy woman.
2. Is there a book or movie that changed your life? I'm not sure about changed my life. But About Time always ALWAYS makes me cry and always reminds me of how precious life is. Watch it if you haven't already. Also... Harry Potter, I know, I'm a nerd. But it Inspires me to see the magic in the world and in others.
3. If you had to pick a super power, what would you pick? Flying. Pretty sure I was a bird in my past life. It's always been a day dream of mine.
4. What is your go-to karaoke song? Thinking Out Loud is always a fav. But there's the Michael Jackson classics I can never give up. Oh... And Sweet Caroline. Of course.
5. What is your surefire hangover cure? A large cup of coffee and usually a cream cheese bagel.
6. What is your favourite family tradition? Our summer travels are always fun. But we have about a bajillion holiday traditions I couldn't live without. Maybe candy cane rolls at Christmas *drool*
7. Do you have any collections? If so, what? My husband usually gets me a snow globe at Christmas. I've accumulated quite a few.
8. If you ruled the world for one day, what's the first thing you would implement? Oh God. No one wants me to rule the world. I'd be crying in the corner the whole time. If I had a method to give education and basic needs to the whole world I'd do that. Lol. Cause I'm sure it's super easy to do.
9. Do you have a life mantra? Usually my own mantra is super cliche but still true : enjoy every moment. Even the bad ones. This life is pretty special and personally I don't know what happens after. So feel every breath, smile even when it's hard, be mindful and compassionate and take it all in.
10. Add your own fun fact!
